None of them show the puke on the fender for trying to make it into something IT'S NOT! A LIE perpetuated is still a LIE.
Stingrays (one word) were made from 1969 to 1976......END OF STORY!
I'm sure the Cobra Guys love Mustang owners calling their cars 'Cobras' just as much!
I'm one of those cobra guys, owning a '99 and '04. Also owned a '70 Z28, All these posers make me want to "puke" by adding an emblem on the fender or hood! Call me old school but who's fooling who.......?

At the end of the day... The guys in the marketing Dept at GM in this case fooling all the people who think in your own terms "poser" editions of Bill Mitchells Sting Ray race car have something special about them other than the pot metal emblems? Since unlike the z28 camaro or the cobra edition mustang, the production stingrays and corvettes are all the same car, same trim same performance, with the name and year being the only difference and no real performance upgrades whatsoever. Those Guys in the marketing Dept at GM did such a good job, most people still think the stingray is some type of faster performance version of the corvette... Hell even folks here who know it isnt, get all worked up over it..
I find it Ironic that your calling someone who puts different emblems on a car to imply its something else a "poser" but in this case thats EXACTLY what the GM marketing team did, right?

which was exactly my point in post 95. i originally did that parts for sale listing in response to somebody who got all bent out of shape because "IT ISN'T A STINGRAY!!!" when the only diff was 3 holes drilled in each fender... you put an SS396 hood and emblems on a Malibu? yeah, that is being a poser.
My comment was only for the C-3's. C-7"s are fine being Sting Rays. Lou.
The guy in charge of the release the c7 stated in an interview I seen recently that the c7 are different than them all because its "StingRay" with a capital "S" and "R" but all one word... lol .. I cant believe I even repeated that marketing nonsense.. kind of reminds me of an old thread on the jeep fourm where people were arguing of the "Trail Rated" emblems they started putting on all the jeeps meaning they were more capable than the same generation jeeps without the emblems

This started out asking for photo's of cars with "non standard" Stingray badges.
My 77 over 20 years ago.
My 77 a couple months ago.
For those whom don't like it. Bad luck, it's my car.
nah. stick the chrome OEM one on there. ya know what elc=se i would like to do? these on the hood. https://www.classicindustries.com/pr...saAn4SEALw_wcB it already has hidden headlights. so i guess that would make it an SS RS Corvette.
These arrived, a bit crushed from shipping. The paint is underwhelming. The counterfeit 3M tape on the back is not really thick enough to stick to both the inside of the hollow emblem, and the car, at the same time.
It's about what I expected, though. I'll wait until I have another batch of G2 epoxy mixed up to repaint them. Hopefully this thread will still be open when I get them on the car.
